IMPORTANT - Minimum tire size 30mm. Max 70PSI.
This is not the wheelset to use with both 25mm road tires and also gravel tires. The Altamont Lite is perfect for that. The CCC is a gravel optimized wheelset, for when you want to have the best possible configuration for those larger tires.

If you're going to ride the gravel roads, we think you should know where they came from.

The CCC is a gravel-specific wheelset built to take you far off the beaten path. The new light weight, durable alloy wheelset complements Boyd’s current carbon Pinnacle 700c and Jocassee 650b offering and promises adventure at an affordable $700 price point.

The CCC, a name engrained in history as the wooded roads it represents, borrows its moniker from the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The CCC was a voluntary public unemployment program designed to provide jobs for young men and to help families who faced challenges finding jobs during the Great Depression. In the mountains of South Carolina there are remnants of “Old CCC” roads deep in the woods that have become favorite exploration destinations for Boyd Johnson, founder of Boyd Cycling.

The 6069 series alloy rim weighs in at 415 grams in a 700c size and 395 grams in the 650b. Built with the highly rated Quest Disc Brake hubs, the complete wheelset nets a scant 1515 grams for 700c set and 1475 grams for the 650b. Spoke count options are 24f/28r and 28f/32r built using Pillar Wing 20 spokes and external brass nipples.

“Going way off the beaten path and onto roadbeds that haven’t been active for decades is some of the most fun I’ve had on a bike,” said Johnson. “I’ve come across old moonshine distilleries and people on 4-wheelers, but never any traffic. Going that remote means the durability of the equipment is a must.”

With that in mind the CCC is a wheelset that can handle rugged off-road terrain, while still performing on pavement sections.  The alloy gravel-specific rim is 25mm internal and has a 2.8mm offset. It features smaller .7mm hooks (compared to most standard 1.1mm hooks) with increased thickness on the hook walls (1.35mm) for better impact protection while running lower pressures.

Gravel seems to be all that everyone is talking about. Gravel rides and races are exploding in popularity. However, most people have a gravel bike as their second or third bike. Outfitting that bike with carbon wheels is not for everybody, and having a price-attractive, high performing alloy wheelset is a much needed product.

If your rides ends covered in mud and dirt, and a giant smile on your face, the CCC is your perfect compliment to ride into the heart of adventure.

Wider and lighter Jocassee 

Designed for high volume tires and adventurous riding

Jocassee is a heritage preserve in the Northwest corner of South Carolina. Containing over 100 miles of gravel roads, Jocassee is a favorite of cyclists looking for a very difficult gravel ride. Founder, Boyd Johnson, started riding in Jocassee on a road bike with 25mm tires in the early 2010s (not highly recommended at all!). Over time gravel started to emerge as a discipline, people migrated to cyclocross bikes, followed by gravel specific bikes.

When Boyd Cycling introduced the Jocassee as a 650b gravel wheelset in 2017, it was in a very unique position. 650b for gravel was in its infancy. Most people were running 32 to 35mm tires for gravel rides. Fast forward a few short years later and almost all gravel bikes have the ability to run both 700c and 650b tire sizes. While 700c remains the overwhelming favorite, the ability to have a dual purpose bicycle is a large attraction for people buying a new gravel bike.

Throw in our Quest centerlock hubs, Pillar Wing 20 spokes, external nipples and you have the ideal gravel wheel set, built to withstand your hardest rides on your most adventurous weekends!

For those of us looking for larger tires (36mm+), the new Jocassee gives a wide rim platform for modern gravel tires. Boasting a 26mm internal width, the updated Jocassee goes to a shallower and lighter 25mm depth. This allows the rim weight to go from 460 grams per rim down to 338 grams in a 650b and 353 grams in a 700c.

With a 26mm internal width, the Jocassee is suited towards larger tires. Ideal tire size is 40mm and up, although the minimum size for a tire is 32mm. Riders looking to lighten their load, while running larger tires will appreciate the smaller wheel diameter (less toe overlap).

Bikepacking, gravel events, solo exploration are some of the places where saving weight and having durability will be an advantage. If you are looking to go further and faster into the heart of adventure, the Jocassee is for you.

If you are experiencing toe-overlap with your current setup or you are on stock wheels, this is a great upgrade. If you want to have more comfort on your rides, or are looking for the ultimate responsive feel in sand, gravel, or broken path, the Jocassee 650B is your next wheel. 

 The Jocassee is (of course) tubeless compatible and features a hookless rim, perfect for running high volume / low pressure tires. The spoke nipples are offset by 2.8mm which allows for more even spoke tension between right and left side of the wheel. This makes for a wheel that holds tension better and prevents broken spokes. However, in the event a wheel ever does need to be trued, the Jocassees are built with easy to adjust external nipples and feature J-Bend spokes.

     The Jocassees are built on the highly rated Quest hubs. Weighing in at 120 grams front and 245 grams rear, the Quest features a centerlock design, quick 5 degree engagement, tool free hub assembly and service, and the ability to swap between all end cap options and all drivers (Shimano Hyperglide and Microspline, Sram XDR, Campy and Campy N3W). The Quest hubs come with Enduro Abec 5 LLU/LLB bearings.

Shave up to two pounds on your bike compared to a stock OEM set, while increasing your durability. Lastly, go have fun!

Protect and prolong the life of your hubs while minimizing friction.

In order to ensure the pawls and driver rings are maintained to our strict performance standards, we have teamed up with the high tech industrial lubricant experts at the NixFrixShun (NFS) Speed Shop to develop the perfect grease. Mainly known for chain lube (pretty much the best chain lube you can buy), NFS helped to develop a pawl grease to match the quality of the hub.

NixFrixShun Speed Coat for Boyd Cycling is an ultra-premium, no holds barred, lithium complex GCLB grease with wear, rust, and oxidation inhibitors, designed to meet the technical and physical demands a hub goes through. It is specially formulated and tested to outperform under a broad range of real world conditions, resisting water and corrosion to retain its consistency for greatly extended

Competitive Advantages:

● Certified GCLB grease with Corrosion Protection
● NLGI Grade 2
● Excellent Water Resistance
● Anti-Wear
● Extreme pressure
● Low Washout
● Very Sheer Stable
● It’s RED; red is always faster! (plus it’s a color you can see how much you have applied)

Grease is sold in a 1oz. tube with an applicator tip designed for easy maintenance. Simply clean your pawls and then add the grease to either the pawls or the engagement teeth. The grease will spread through all the teeth through normal riding. A 1oz. tube should be good for 8-10 applications, and with the longevity of the Speed Coat grease this should pretty much be a lifetime supply.

The Onyx Brake pad by Boyd Cycling is our newest and most advanced brake pad yet. It is good to use for any of our carbon wheels, clincher or tubular, and any model year.

The most important feature of this new brake pad is heat dissipation. We made a focus on a brake pad that will not develop high heat in prolonged braking circumstances. In our torture test that consists of continuous braking at 17KgF for minutes on end the highest temperature reached was 104 degrees Celsius. With the same testing lab, we tested the brakes at 17KgF braking power for 4 seconds on, 4 seconds off for an hour. The temperature would rise and fall, but the highest temperature reached was only 68 degrees Celsius.

These new brake pads also have great modulation and also brake feel. We tested these on the road for months before final production letting multiple riders try the brake pads and give their impressions. Braking is predictable, there is no pulsation, and the absolute stopping power is there when you need it. The final test before product release came in a criterium where Boyd was in a two person break. The breakaway companion took the final corner of the race a little too fast and slid out right in front of Boyd. He was able to slam on the brakes and go from 28mph to a complete stop in about 10 meters (albeit balancing on the front wheel doing an endo). This was the final proof that the brake pads have that ability to really stop when needed. Now you can have carbon wheels without sacrificing the braking power of an alloy wheel.

Longevity is very good on these pads. Like all wheels and wheel accessories, Altamont road going up and down Paris Mountain in Greenville, SC is used for testing. We have found that with going up and down Paris Mountain multiple times almost every day the front pads will last a few months whereas the rear pads will likely last at least half a year or more. Not too bad for a set of four brake pads that only cost $20.

One set come with four brake pads, enough to outfit your entire bike with new pads. Both Shimano and Campy style are available. Please note that on the first ride there may be a little material that comes off after the first couple times of using the brakes, this is just the top layer and is meant to come off. If you have just installed the brake pads for the first time you may not want to do a super hilly route on that first ride with the brake pads. The top layer of the brake pad can stick to the rim and that will accelerate the wear of the brake pads for that ride. It's encouraged that after your first ride you wipe down both the brake pads and the rim with a rag and rubbing alcohol. This quick step will only take a few seconds to perform but will greatly prolong the life of the brake pads.

Excessive toeing in of these brake pads will also accelerate the wear. A lot of time has been spent ensuring that these brake pads will not squeal on your carbon rims. You should not have to toe in your brake pads on these as much as a traditional carbon brake pad. This will also help with longevity.

It seems like only yesterday that cyclocross racing was the accessible darling of every blog, hipster, and handbuilder, bound to make competitive cycling a mass-participation sport. Then came the advent of gravel, and everyone forgot about Belgium’s native sport. But us? We haven’t yet forgotten the taste of blood in our mouths on the final run-up of the last lap. What we have wanted to forget? Rolling a tire off the rim in the critical corner right afterward. Cross racing puts unique demands on tires, glue bonds, and traction, some that are afforded only by the ultra-low pressures riders can run with tubulars, and owing to this we set to work creating the ultimate CX racing wheel - the Pinnacle CX. Based on our all-new Pinnacle tubeless rim, we created a tubular version with a 32mm radius rim bed to give perfect edge-to-edge tire gluing. The massive surface area gives enormous adhesion and peace of mind when PSIs are dwindling into the single digits on sloppy race courses, keeping tires from slipping off the rim while offering superb traction in terrible conditions. At 36mm deep, the 400g Pinnacle CX's rim depth offers added aerodynamics and mud shedding you'd need in a cross race, along with plenty of acceleration and stiffness balanced by an offset rim design. The Pinnacle CX set weighs in at 1475 grams built with the Boyd Cycling Quest disc brake hubs.

The Pinnacle CX is a cyclocross weapon. If your idea of fun is riding through mud, snow, and bunny hopping barriers then you need a wheelset that was designed with this in mind. Take comfort in the security of the perfect tire fit as you power through those muddy off camber turns.

The Pinnacle CX wheelset has been ridden to countless national championship titles, and multiple top 10 performances in world championships.

Ideal for cyclocross where running a larger tubular tire at very low pressure gives a major advantage. Want to know how many world cup cyclocross races have been won on tubulars? ALL of them! The Pinnacle CX is not just a repurposed road tubular wheelset, the wide rim bed was designed for cyclocross tires in mind.
